Southern Illinois University Edwardsville used a 13-4 run to start the second half and powered past Missouri-St. Louis 64-50 in Great Lakes Valley Conference action Saturday night.
         Ruth Kipping led the offense for the Cougars (13-10, 11-6 GLVC) with 20 points. Amanda Buldtman pumped in 14 points and Kristen Boss added a season-high 10 points off the bench.
         It was the Cougars' defense which keyed the victory. UMSL (7-15, 4-12 GLVC) shot just 29 percent from the field (19-65) and was limited to 26 percent from three-point range. SIUE shot nearly 48 percent from the field.
         Christy Lane was the lone player in double figures for UMSL with 10 points.
